A Free Adv. for Langtry

DENVER, June 11.-Mrs. LangtrJ's
manager to day brought SUIT against
the Tabor Grand Opera House to re-
cover 1929, which he claims is still due
him as the balance of his percentage OF
receipts. Several weeks ago, while
Manager McCSurt, of the Tabor Grand,
was in New York, Mr.. Reynolds,
Langtry's manager, desired to make
dates here the first three nights of this
week. As the Rag Baby was
booked here for The entire week
it was impossible to do so. Frank
Mckee, manager of the Rag Baby,
was seen at the Fifth Avenue by Nc
Court and Reynolds. Mckee agreed TO
give up three nights. provided McCourt
guaranteed the receipts OF the Rag Baby
Company for these three performances
in any other town to be ST. eco. McCourt
consented to do this, with an under
standing with Reynolds that if these
receipts be less than 81 coo he stand 50
per cent. loss. With this understanding
McCourt played the Rag Baby at
Greeley, Colo. Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, where their rece pts
amounted to only $14l85.
McCourt made good the 81 900 and
held out of Reynolds share of the
receipts of the Tabor Grand $4290f as
Langtry's so per cent of the loss. Rey-
nolds objected; hence the suit.

Manning Home Again.

NEW YORK, June 1.-Ex-Secretsry
of the Treasury Daniel Manning, ar
rived this afternoon from Europe. and
was welcomed by a number of friends
down the bay. His appearance indi.
Gates a bettered condition of health.
His face is bronzed from exposure; his
eyes clear and bright; his hand grasp
strong and vigorous. He now walks
without a cane, and with but little of
his late uncertainty of step. He said
he believed himself fully recovered from
his recent trouble, and was ready to go
to work, though his plans were not yet
fully matured. He declined to express
any positive opinion on the subject of
trading in silver certificates till he had
time to consider the matter more.

An Important Step at Princeton
College.

PRINCETON, N. J., June Ian im-
portant step was taken by the faculty
of the Princeton College last night
For the last few weeks they have been
considering what should be done IN re-
gard to the new branches. which have
6een and are still being introduced into
the curriculum of the college. After
careful elaboration the conviction was
reached that all these cannot be brought
into the college proper. There are not
hours enough in day for them
and if adopted they would greatly dam
age the solid old branches, such as
classics, mathematics and philosophy.
Therefore, they have come to unani-
nous conclusion that they must organ
ize a past graduate and university
course, to be consummated in uDiver-
sitv degrees. Before this decision of the
faculty can become operative, it will re-
ouire the ratification of the board of
trustees. 1t is believed, however, that
there will be no difficulty about this, as
several influential members of the board
are known to be in favor of this policy,
aud several alumni associations nave
urged its adoption.

Rights of Americans in Behrit s's Sea.
SAN Francisco, May IA memorial
has been sent to the President of the
United States from here, urging him to
clearly define the rights of American
seamen to hunt and fish in Behring's
Sea, and in the Pacific Ocean off the
coast Of Ala0ka. The memorial is
signed by $50 shippers and merchants.
Senator Stanford, of California, con
siders the contents of the memorial of
great Importance to the commercial in
terests of the Pacific Coast, AND added
TO 1t a personal letter to the President.
urging him to give the II after his speedy
consideration as the hunting
and fishing season is now
open and delay will destroy
the interests OF American shipp RS,
while foreigners are permitted to enjoy
privileges in and on the sea which are
denied to our own 0tlzens. The me-
mortal calls attention to the fact that in
1872, Boutwell,, then Secretary of the
Treasury, gave his opinion that the
territorial jurisdiction of the United
States did not extend beyond one
marine league fro II the shores of the
mainland of Alaska or the islands &C
quired by the United States its pur-
chase from Russia, and outside
that the three-mile limit, free to all
citizens as well as foreigners; that in
1881 the then Secretary of I'll e
Treasury reversed that ruling ana
declared that the waters adjacent
to Alaska Territory meant the whole OF
Behring's Sea included within a
straight line drawn from the Diomede
Islands in Behring's Strait to the ex-
treme point of the Aleulian Islands, a
distance of $500 miles, and 700 from
the Alaska shore; that under this later
railing American seamen and ships have
been seized, condemned and sold for
hunting and fishing anywhere within
this large sea and shippers left without
redress, while British vessels, for doing
the same thing, are allowed full immun-
ity from seizure, and if seized, are re
leased by order of the President The
memorialists ask for a precise definition
of what is meant by sin waters of Alaska
Territory"

THE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
The Text Books Condemned
Other Business Matters.

Pursuant to adjournment the tesch-
ers met yesterday, with Superintendent
Stewart in the chair. The discussion of
the text book question was resumed
and the following books now in use
were almost unanimously condemned:
Rays Arithmetic, The Independent
Reader, Watson's Spoilers, Swinton's
Language Lessons, and Anderson's
United States History. 1t is thought by
the teachers that the remainder of the
books have sufficient merits to entitIe
them to be retained for another term
of five years, as it will save the people
considerable expense.
The programme of the Summer In
stitute was then read, showing that q
very enjoyable and profitable time will
be enjoyed at that session. The Super
intendent then explained what is re-
quired of the teachers at the next
examination, which will be held i'm
mediatelv after the adoption of text
books. The meeting adjourned to meet
in the University Building, June 9th.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Prospects of a Successful Celetra-
tiOn-The Finances.

Mr.. Arbogast and Others of the Fourth
of July finance committee are quite san.
guine of the success of the undertaking.
They have already collected, or have the
promise of, over 5000, aud still claim that
owing to the limited time at their dis
posal, they have been unable to inter
view large number of people who are
inclined to look upon the scheme with
favor. There is now no doubt but that
sufficient money will be raised
to make the celebration success
so far as it can be successful
under the existing circumstances. 1t
has not yet been definitely ascertalned
as to whether an attempt will be made
to organize a procession; 1t is now
thought, however, that the exercises will
consist mainly of the reading OF the
Declaration of Independence, orations,
vocal and instrumental music, etc., etc.
Another meeting will be held at the
Federal Court Room, on Monday even
ing, at $50, when the final report of
the finance committee will be made,
and committees will be appointed to
push the matter ahead in vigorous
manner.
It is too early yet to learn whether
the Grand Army of the Republic will
ioin with the citizens in celebration.
A committee of that organization has
been appointed to devise some means
of honuring the birthday of the nation,
and they will probably report to the
post in few days the result OF their
deliberations.
